I am not an expert and would welcome input from other members, but I would assume that a higher degree of tire adhesion to the road creates more resistance and therefore a higher consumption. But then again, I may be wrong….
You're right. The stickier the compound, the more resistance. Will be interesting to see how the new Michelin Pilot Sport EV tire performs. (coming to US late 2021 according to Michelin)
more grip = less efficient = less range = sporty driving = better performance - it's all trade offs.
Good thing too, or Porsche would have a lot of dead vehicles in their lots.
Assuming it was a Tesla, what model, what production date,, and what version of software is it running?My car just sat in my garage for 23 hours and 55 minutes without losing a single battery percentage. Not plugged in.
Then, only one theory stands, as it is.
Strange, I get 240 registered at 85% when I charge. Maybe let it get down real low before recharge.
March 2020 Model 3 Performance with latest software.
Nice! None of our Teslas ever managed that (except one time, when I parked it for about an hour at a store, my range actually went up by 1 mile, go figure). What temperature outside of the car?
High 70's / low 80's. Garaged, so no solar load to worry about cabin heat or cooling the batteries.
It’ll probably take a few weeks to go up. When we first got our car, it said 200 miles at 100%. I think it was up to 260 or 280 within 2 weeks and peaked at around 300 or so a little while later. It’s back down to 280 now.
Just keep in mind your range isn't increasing, it's just Porsche's estimate of what your range is based on your recent driving habits.
